7/18 - No idea why my body wants to put on weight. Granted, food has been a little wonky but not entirely unhealthy. Today likely has a little to do with the fact that we FINALLY painted our ceiling beams yesterday and boy are my arms/shoulders SOOOOOOORE. Plus lots of up and down ladders for a leg workout. We have family portraits Wednesday evening that I'm trying to work toward looking okay in. BF and kiddos going to BF's dad's this weekend (out of state), leaving Thursday morning and coming back Monday evening so it'll just be BigBro and I. We both work Thurs, Fri, Mon and he never really leaves his room on weekends so it'll pretty much just be me. I only have to worry about his to/from work and feeding him dinner (which I'm feeding myself so it's not a big deal there). I did force myself out of bed this morning (by reminding myself my actual alarm goes off in less than an hour and I'll be miserable if I let myself fall back asleep) to knock out a nice workout. 5-4-3-2-1 min alternating bike/rower (5 min row, 1 min rest, 5 min bike, 1 min rest, 4 min rower, etc). Feel better now that it's done. Let's see if I can keep this up, though. So long as I can get into bed around 9-930 every night, I think I can force myself up. Thursday might be a challenge since BigBro has to be at work a half hour earlier cutting my workout time short. Plus this week we may get home later Wed night since we're doing sunset family portraits (around 730-8) and that's about an hours drive away. Might call that my rest morning.
7/19 - Surprised at the drop despite the big heavy dinner. It was, however, filled with protein and veggies (I doubled up on veggies). Second day waking up at 5 to get some movement in. I'm super sore, particularly in the shoulders and neck (DOMS from painting I believe. Always the second day after for me I've noticed) so I did a nice Yoga With Adriene morning routine for 34 minutes. Hoping it would help the bit of a tension headache I have due to the neck/shoulder soreness. Might need to put some cream on to help ease it, though. The habit here isn't necessarily the workout, it's the getting up and moving first thing in some form or fashion. Due to the "lightness" of yoga, I have to be very careful about my food today. I have lunch and dinner planned, but I've noticed I get quite hungry mid-afternoon. I have a little bit of extra calories left for something to hold me over, though, so I should be okay so long as I stay mindful. Also, so long as I have my water dialed in, I have coffee in the morning to help me push lunch a little later (yay for the appetite suppressant side of coffee! Plus my collagen. I usually only drink one cup when I get back from dropping off BigBro but I'm drinking it early today so I'll give myself permission for a second cup later in the morning should I need it. Second cup won't have collagen added. Gotta watch them calories!). Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Editing to add: I'm focusing on how I feel and look vs the scale since I'm trying to reintroduce regular workouts. I know I'll likely gain some (or not lose) from glycogen and muscle build-up initially if I can keep this habit up.
7/20 - Easing back down. A little shocked as SD wanted to make rice so BF helped her make homemade chicken fried rice. Quite a carb-loaded meal for dinner. But I was mindful of what I was eating all day, only snacked on a packet of lemon-pepper salmon when I realized I was truly hungry (not boredom or emotional eating). Woke up again this morning for some movement. Yoga With Adriene "For when you're feeling dead inside" which is pretty accurate how I was feeling this AM. I was NOT having it. I had some pretty awful dreams, tossing and turning and waking up frequently. But I knew that 1 hour was not enough to make me feel any better so I might as well get up and move since it's more likely to boost me than a bit more sleep. Photos are up in the air as Fam didn't quite account for a few things, unfortunately. It is BF's fathers day gift so we left everything up to them except us getting our outfits (theme is red&black). We shall see if it works out. Kiddos only have a couple more weeks here so hopefully they get it sorted as the next opportunity is spring break. If it is postponed, maybe I can work this bloat off a little more and feel a little better about them. If not, oh well. The dress I chose will hide the bloat-belly I currently am dealing with fairly well. Edit to add because brain isn't working today: my TMI/digestion is all kinds of wonky. Not sure what's causing it but I have a feeling it is impacting how bloated I look/feel. Likely has impact on weight as well since I'm almost always higher when I have noticeable bloat. Hoping my food choices this week will fix this in the next few days. Edit #2: Fam just informed us they were able to find a place to accomodate us for photos. They are happening tonight after all.
